Conversion formula
The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:
1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s
To convert 27.7 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 27.7 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s
27.7 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 27.7 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 46.752333041663 ft/s
The final result is:
27.7 kt → 46.752333041663 ft/s
We conclude that 27.7 knots is equivalent to 46.752333041663 feet per second:
27.7 knots = 46.752333041663 feet per second
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.021389306906008 × 27.7 knots.
Another way is saying that 27.7 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.021389306906008 feet per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that twenty-seven point seven knots is approximately forty-six point seven five two feet per second:
27.7 kt ≅ 46.752 ft/s
An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero two one times twenty-seven point seven knots.
